MORMONS in Warwick held a 'Spring clean for the Queen' in the town.

About 150 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered to collect dozens of bags of rubbish at St Nicholas Park and across other areas of the town.

Susan Bleach, one of the volunteers, said: “Warwick is a beautifully-kept town but we managed to collect 60 bags of rubbish, 43 bags of recycling, one plastic barrier, a supermarket trolley and a road sign – it was great fun despite the rain.”

Coun Mike Kinson, chairman of Warwick District Council, paid a visit to see the volunteers in action and said: “I can’t believe so many people turned out in the rain to do a job like this and am extremely grateful.”

Sunday services are held from 10am at the chapel, located at 106 Saltisford, Birmingham Road, and visitors are always welcome.
